kale kale badlo me pani
kale kale badlo me pani
mori chadti jawani
mori chadti jawani
ghar aaja pardeshiya rut aayi suhani
rut aayi suhani
kale kale badlo me pani

na sath sath kate na rat
mohse barsato ki barsato ki
aaja re aaja re kaliya khili
rato ki ho ji rato ki
mai din din ghatti jau o dil ke jani
ghar aaja pardeshiya rut aayi suhani
rut aayi suhani
kale kale badlo me pani

badha jhijhak jhijhak kar nam tumhara leti hu
badha jhijhak jhijhak kar nam tumhara leti hu
dard ke din abhage suno sunaye deti hu
dard ke din abhage suno sunaye deti hu
karahe bada ye dard dard ke bani
ghar aaja pardeshiya rut aayi suhani
rut aayi suhani kale kale badlo me pani
kale kale badlo me pani
mori chadti jawani
mori chadti jawani
ghar aaja pardeshiya rut aayi suhani
rut aayi suhani kale kale badlo me pani

In clouds of deepest night, the water weeps,
In clouds of deepest night, the water weeps,
My youthful tide, it swells and leaps.
My youthful tide, it swells and leaps.
Come home, my love, from lands afar, the season sweet, it keeps,
The season sweet, it keeps,
In clouds of deepest night, the water weeps.

No nights are spent together, nor the day,
From love, these rains, these rains hold sway,
Come, oh come, the blossoms bloom and sway,
Of these dark nights, of these dark nights, they play.
I dwindle day by day, oh, heart’s own stay,
Come home, my love, from lands afar, the season sweet, it keeps,
The season sweet, it keeps,
In clouds of deepest night, the water weeps.

With hesitant steps, your name, I call,
With hesitant steps, your name, I call,
The days of pain, ill-fated, hear my thrall,
The days of pain, ill-fated, hear my thrall,
This pain, it groans, oh, pain, my all,
Come home, my love, from lands afar, the season sweet, it keeps,
The season sweet, it keeps,
In clouds of deepest night, the water weeps.
In clouds of deepest night, the water weeps,
My youthful tide, it swells and leaps.
My youthful tide, it swells and leaps.
Come home, my love, from lands afar, the season sweet, it keeps,
The season sweet, it keeps,
In clouds of deepest night, the water weeps.
